For many years growing up, my family often found themselves at the North East coast over the Easter weekend; family upon family, traditions in the loosest sense. This hasn't happened for some time, and yet I've been surprised, I suppose, at how much I'm expecting to breathe in sea air, how much it feels like I should be somewhere else just now. And while I crave the discomfort of sand in my shoes, I think stewing a little in rose-tinted nostalgia is something only the lucky get to do—for many people, it manifests itself as regret and all they wish had happened. It's shockingly simple: we need to live forwards.
